This is exactly what the EU does for foreigners entering

I have some doubts about San Francisco’s ability to run a provider well, given the long history of corruption in city service providers and permitting agencies.

Hardware timelines are long. I doubt they could have switched in less than three years regardless.

It’s hard to enforce on developer machines - there are lots of ways to install npm even if you never use it for managing development dependencies.

There has been a lot of pain at my various jobs installing a safe global npm config on every developer machine, asking people not to disable it, checking it with mdm tools. A safer out-of-the-box configuration is long overdue.

It’s very slick, but I would be interested to know how separable the UI and the data layer are. I love vim but asking a collaborative group to all use a TUI is difficult. A local web server would be a nice alternative UI

Good luck to the astronauts

In fact it was “the Java way” for many years and “useless getters” was always a big complaint about Java.

Barbara O’Neill promotes baking soda injections as a cancer cure and encourages people not to use antibiotics because she thinks they cause cancer. She’s a dimwit.

This has recently been updated:

Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, both affected regions have experienced physical impacts to infrastructure as a result of drone strikes.

So they're confirming actual aggression

I vibe-coded a simple neovim lua plugin very recently. It worked well!

Yes - you can hang multiple hooks per line. You can use more lines.

I was at the Rijksmuseum recently and they use a wire system like this for all manner of configurations

meta: why are we rewriting such anodyne titles? “was” -> “might be” undermines the author's point

I’ve been getting this message on international flights for the last two months already - no using power banks at any time on the plane.

At some point lithium ion battery packs are going to be completely excluded from luggage and it’ll be chaos

so the comments are wasted bytes

Is there any modern compiler where the output code has anything to do with the comments in the source?

Atlassian, tho, has nothing for the regular every-day consumer, they make SaaS for business. So what's the deal?

sometimes you just find a big enterprise sucker who's desperate to stay relevant.

Funny that this also describes these cult rationalist groups very well.

Chinese continuity is overstated for the purposes of modern nation-building. The Qing and Ming are as different from each other and modern CCP China as the kingdom of Prussia is from modern Germany.

They’re very common in video game programming and visual effects and uncommon elsewhere. I enjoyed this article, though it’s still about using ECS in a simulation / computer graphics context.

Bootlegging was massive in Malaysia. Whole floors of some of the high-rise malls in Johor Bahru were VCD shops.

And people complain about Apple being paternalistic.

If you’re already saving passwords in an app, you’re being more secure than most users. A forced move to passkeys seems nuts when not all systems support them yet.

I’m also still concerned that passkeys seems more likely to fail the average user when they break or lose a device, compared to a decent password.

Why do so many examples break down to “send better spam faster”?

Oh - it seems there was a directorial change and substantial rework: https://screenrant.com/elio-pixar-changes-different-how-why/

It did look expensive on screen, but $250 million?! I think they could have spent much less without seriously affecting the things that mattered most. A visual downgrade wouldn’t have stopped us from enjoying it.

Really too bad - this one works well for a 4 year old, which has honestly been a rare find for us.

That said, I only found out about it by chance when looking for the release date of 28 Years Later

I was being generous by guessing based on the small font, and what I think would be the bare minimum for myself.

If you’re charging $200 you should really be able to see more than 15 lines of text at a time.

I know the idea is to be distraction-free but it’s hard to justify over a basic writing app on the phone you already own, which includes a nicer screen.

It’s too bad that Texas’ joke of an electrical grid defeated the project, but I think private profit on energy generation is really unlikely and produces a lot of bad incentives for plant operators.

In California the companies also systematically under-invest in capacity and maintenance, so the up-front cost of any project, even single home solar can get unpredictable fast.
